Two B.C. fathers took daughters, 12, to U.S. to marry (Vancouver Sun)

The Vancouver Sun reports on newly filed court documents in British Columbia that claim that two fathers in Bountiful, B.C., drove their 12-year-old daughters to the U.S. to marry an accused pedophile and fugitive.

According to the Sun report: “MacRae and Spencer Blackmore were part of a 2005 scheme to sneak their daughters from Bountiful into the United States to marry Warren Jeffs, the prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, according to Jeffs’ diaries.

“His sordid musings reveal that MacRae and Spencer — father and son — along with Spencer’s wife, took the two girls to a hiding place in the U.S. and used untraceable cellphones in a plot to deliver the girls to Jeffs, who was ‘yearning’ and intent upon ‘sealing’ the girls to him.”

At the time, Jeffs already had 57 wives.

The Vancouver newspaper also includes this information from the diaries:

“The diaries said the girls met Jeffs the day of their marriage at about 5 p.m. to’”get acquainted.’”"I told them they would be sealed to me and to be ready by 8 p.m.,” Jeffs wrote.

” ‘ They are very sweet young girls’, he added. ” ‘I have several others.’ ”
